Pros

- good ski time depending on role - help with getting seasonal french visas for non-EU passport holders - fun team to work in - good managers - good locations to work in - provide accommodation/food (at a reasonable cost)

Cons

- low pay compared to other ski companies (especially bigger operators e.g. inghams/crystal/some of the chalet companies), how much this bothers you depends what you want from a ski season(s) - UK office can be hit and miss depending on who you deal with but generally good. - owned by Travelopia, which is owned by a big private equity firm (KKR) who pays very little tax and generally is seen as a “maximise profit at all costs” type of company - which will often trickle down to the front line despite management being a nice bunch of people. Again, how much this bothers you depends on what you want out of a ski season! - not particularly diverse in its intake, but that’s not unique to Skibound, more of an Alps/ski season problem.

Pros

None that I can think of ,or even imagine.

Cons

Bullying throughout the company from HR and Accounts to managers and staff in resort. Politics within the company amongst staff and managers all backstabbing each other. Wages are bad Poor management skills. No honesty To staff. In reflection of the poor wages, the company only attracts poor tradesman and staff. In short the company sells their jobs as an ‘experience’. Then when you arrive to the job it’s nothing like it and in reality skibound have just taken advantage of a lot of people to work for them.
